The Broncos obviously like low-mileage readings on the football odometer for their prospects.

And with two of their three picks in the NFL draft Friday, Denver selected two of the youngest players on the board.

In the second round, the Broncos selected Arizona State quarterback Brock Osweiler, who left the Sun Devils after his junior season. Osweiler won’t turn 22 until November.

And in the third round, with a pick they obtained in a trade with the Cleveland Browns, the Broncos selected San Diego State running back Ronnie Hillman. Hillman played just two seasons for the Aztecs after his redshirt season, coming into the NFL after his sophomore year.

Fast company. Derek Wolfe, the Broncos’ first pick of the draft — 36th overall — was quick to give plenty of kudos to his new teammates.

When asked what it would be like to play in a defense with Elvis Dumervil and Champ Bailey, he said: “It’s a huge privilege. I couldn’t ask for a better spot to be going into than the best defense in the NFL right now. Hopefully, I can just learn from those guys.”

Wolfe is expected to join Ty Warren, Justin Bannan and Kevin Vickerson in the rotation at defensive tackle.

Blast from the past. With former players reading many of the teams’ picks Friday, it was former Air Force defensive lineman Chad Hennings who announced the Dallas Cowboys’ third-round pick — 81st overall — from the podium at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Hennings said “America’s Team selects …” and read Boise State defensive end Tyrone Crawford’s name.

A long wait. Because of trades, including the deal to acquire quarterback Carson Palmer, the Oakland Raiders waited until the last pick of the third round — 95th overall — to make their first pick of the draft.

And after two full days, 94 previous picks, the Raiders dived in with Utah offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom. The Raiders have just five picks in the entire draft.

Footnotes. The three teams that selected quarterbacks Friday — the Eagles, Seahawks and Broncos — have other players slotted as starters at the position. The Eagles have Michael Vick, the Seahawks have free-agent signee Matt Flynn and the Broncos have Peyton Manning. The Eagles selected Arizona’s Nick Foles, the Seahawks selected Wisconsin’s Russell Wilson and the Broncos selected Osweiler. … The Broncos start quickly today with the sixth and 13th picks in the fourth round, 101st and 108th overall.
